- Measure the length of the latch hook on each side. Are they the same length?
- Maybe the right one is 1/8" too long so it hits the end of the ram?
- Maybe it is welded at the correct height, but 1/8" too far to the left?
- Maybe the hole for the pivot bolt in the latch was mis-drilled 1/8" to the left, causing the latch to sit 1/8" too far to the right?
- Maybe the end of the cylinder is too long?
I'd send PT the picture showing it hitting the latch and ask Terry what to do. He may have a quick answer. Or, they may have to send you a new QA plate, or a modified latch with the hole drilled in a different spot, or just grind 1/8" off the end of the latch hook and be done with it. :confused3:
